buying hectares for almond production

7 years ago

I'd like to know if buying an arid mendoza property is a good bet for almond production. Land around San Rafael and General Alvear have come down in price in recent years, seems like an opportunity. here are some questions if someone could please enlighten me.

1. how much money should i put aside for a deep well that's to be sufficient for around 3-5 hectares of newly planted almond seedlings? (with efficient irrigation system in place)
2. what kind of soil issues should i be looking out for prior to buying?
3. frost and wind issues to consider?
4. how many people are actually growing almonds in south eastern mendoza?
5. would i need a lawyer to deal with future labor disputes?
6. any advice on dealing with sleazy realtors? i obviously want the best value per ha, and do not need any mejoras, en blanco would suffice.
